HBO brings WWII veterans to memorial in D.C.
Posted on 03/14/2010
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and Elizabeth Dole are joining 250 veterans at the World War II memorial in Washington to honor their service. HBO brought the veterans to the memorial Thursday to coincide with the network's premiere of a 10-part series called "The Pacific." Hanks and Spielberg are part of the production team, following their "Band of Brothers" miniseries in 2001. The series begins Sunday. It focuses on the lives of U.S. Marines fighting the Japanese after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The veterans will include a 100-year-old man. Veterans from Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia and Orlando, Fla., will make the trip.
